When I first push on the brakes it seems to want to lean right a little , when I continue to press the brake it brakes straight, but the first press seems to lean the car right a little. Does it need another bleed? Proportion valve issue? Any Help ? Thanks Chris Check Out My Site http://www.cdecristo.com/Challenger/Home.html

As they age they'll tend to swell up on the inside causing the fluid the enter the caliper or wheel cylinder at a reduced flow. Giving one caliper more fluid at a faster rate than the other. Just an idea!!!!
